Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury

Personal Review:

Like Dandelion Dust is a wonderful read with love and faith at the very core of it! As a mother myself it made me wonder at what lengths I would go to for the love of my children if they were about to get taken away from me and whether my faith would be strong enough to get me through it. Although this is about a child being taken from his adoptive parents and being given back to his biological parents, I couldn’t imagine it would happen knowing the devastating effects it would have on the child. And even though I couldn’t imagine how a biological mother could actually put her child through that since all he knew was his adoptive parents, my heart felt great compassion for her also. When all hope seemed lost, I couldn’t blame the adoptive parents for wanting to disappear like dandelion dust even though they knew it was morally wrong. A part of me was cheering them on hoping they could get away with it and just when I thought I figured out the ending, there was a surprise twist in it. This book is a definite page turner that provokes you to seriously wonder what you would do for the love of your child and consider how strong your faith would be in a similar situation to be able to do the right thing and trust in God.

Overview from website:

Jack and Molly Campbell enjoyed an idyllic life in their small hometown outside Atlanta with their adopted 4-year-old, Joey. Then they receive the phone call that shatters their world: a social worker delivers the news that Joey’s biological father has been released from prison and is ready to start life over–but with his son. When a judge rules that Joey must be returned to his father, the Campbells, in a silent haze of grief and utter disbelief, watch their son pick a dandelion and blow the feathery seeds into the wind. Struggling with the dilemma of following the law, their hearts, and what they know to be morally right, the Campbells find that desperation leads to dangerous thoughts. What if they can devise a plan? Take Joey and simply disappear…like dandelion dust…
